Android emulator stays minimized (eclipse, windows 7) - eclipse

This is an issue that happens to me just sometimes, most of the times the emulator works ok.
screenshot of the problem with the emulator
The thing is, that the emulator starts but it can not be maximized. It doesn't matter if you click on its "window" from the Tasklist at the bottom or you try to force it to maximize/make it go to the front from the Task-manager; it just doesn't react to it.
In the little window that appears when you have the mouse over the task (see screenshot), you can even watch the emulator starting and waiting for the interaction with the clock and so on, but it is not accessible.
Any ideas?!

I had the same issue after forcing the emulator to close during debugging.
To fix the problem, try changing the screen resolution of the virtual device under Edit in the AVD manager and then launch the virtual device.
This fixed the issue for me and I was able to revert to the original resolution without any problems.

Blackberry 10 Development

I am developing an application in Blackberry 10. I have installed QNXMomentics for development, and Dev alpha Simulator for debugging. For running application in QNX need to specify the IP Addess from device or simulator. But on my simulator it does not showing the menu, Only the welcome screen is showing in the simulator , What the problem here
In context of your problem, Richard gives you idea about how to connect you simulator or device to your IDE you can find out one more option there is AUTO DISCOVER.
On startup of your loading your simulator on VM player their are two option for selecting screen type:
BB10DevAlfaKeyboard
BB10DevAlfaKeyboardSafe
Try 2nd option.
(*This setting for simulator debug only)
Your blackberry simulator device get stuck on welcome screen, I think this happens because of your PC hardware configuration little bit low, for first time it will take time
you have to wait till you didn't get HOME SCREEN of your BB Os 10 on your simulator.
On the simulator home screen, at the top, near the time you should see an icon that looks like a person with a gear inside. Selecting that icon will show you the IP addresses assigned to the device.
Or Run->Debug configuration...->Add new target->auto discover

Gtk Fullscreen on startup at Ubuntu 10.10

I'am programming one kiosk app using GTK+Ubuntu 10.10. All works ok when I run the app manually but If I setup it up as a Startup Application on Gnome, it does not become fullscreen. I'am using gtk_window_fullscreen() function to tell it to resize as a fullscreen window. When Gnome starts, it launch the app with its default size without resizing.
Calling gtk_window_fullscreen() a second time, some seconds after being launched, doesn't work.
If I move the mouse pointer over the window once opened, it resizes automatically to a fullscreen status.
Any idea how to get a fullscreen on startup?
Regards
Fullscreen is handled by the window manager, so you may need to make sure your program is launched after the window manager has started.

android emulator does not work properly

I know that android emulator is to slow, and I read a lot about that here in stackoverflow.
My problem is that sometimes when I run the emulator, instead of going to android home screen it shows me a an screen with to button, one look likes a 'Lock' and other looks like a 'Speaker'.
And sometime (Like the moment i am writing this question), the screen just shows 'Android' text and nothing happens.
When it says 'Android', it's booting. Just wait. It can take a few minutes.
When it's a lock and a speaker, it's just the lock screen. Slide the lock to the right to go to the home screen.
Dragging the lock downward as far as it could go worked for me..for whatever reason and resulted in the camera getting launched :). Eventually the camera stopped responding and I could get to the home page.
Update: Dragging it upward causes the screen to get unlocked. Note that this was on a Ubuntu machine.

Emulator Problem

When I'm lunching an app the emulator is to big for the screen and it is on the side.
What to do?
Thanks,

You should learn emulator tutorial and also see here: emulator
The emulator screen can be rotated by pressing:
F11
7 on your Number pad
Which one to use may vary by machine.
Just try it by changing orientation or you can reduce screen resolution when you create avd it'll ask for skin select hvga.If you want to modify current emulator screen size just go to window--->sdk and avd manager--> and it'll display list of avds you have select one avd and edit it's skin property to hvga or whatever you want.

iPhone simulator running invisible

iPhone simulator is running on my Mac but it's not showing the simulator. Two days back I had installed the Mac OS X 10.5.6 update. Xcode is launching the aplication in simulator, and it's running, as I can see the outputs on the gdb console window. But the simulator is not shown.
Try to remove ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphonesimulator.plist
Had the same issue. The simulator was running somewhere way off screen. Could see it using expose, but couldn't move it.
Rather than using "Detect Displays", which didn't work for me, I changed the screen resolution and that popped it back into place.
Have you previously had an external monitor connected? Perhaps Mac OS X saved the simulator window off-screen the last time it was run?
In the System Preferences, select Displays and click the "Detect Displays" button while the simulator is running. That should force the simulator window to appear on-screen.
Nothing worked except the good old IT joke, Turn it off & on again! (Completely restarting the whole machine worked for me).
